A South Norwood father-of-four has been found guilty of encouraging terrorism after he posted videos glorifying ISIS on YouTube.

Gary Staples, of Crowther Road, had created and posted videos with images of ISIS and Al-Quaeda to “encourage members of the public who have seen the videos to commit or instigate acts of terrorism”, a court heard.

He was also accused of creating a video of former Prime Minister Tony Blair on fire – but has been cleared on this count.

The 50-year-old was on Wednesday (January 24) found guilty of seven counts of publishing or causing another to publish a statement relating to terrorism.
